Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney was at home in South Carolina when the raid to kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was launched, only learning about it after the fact.
Slight or potential to contradict the narrative?
It always comes back to:
Sayonara, Mickey.
Iām honestly not totally clear on what Mick Mulvaney does in his capacity as WHCOS. He doesnāt seem to manage the Presidentās time or have his ear, manage interactions between high-level staffers, or do any day-to-day crank-turning and lever-flipping. Mick, what are the American people paying you for?
Putting the āfunā back in dysfunction!
And I bet he put a note on Mulvaneyās locker telling him that he wasnāt invited to the party on the weekend, and Melania is going to be out of town so it will be uh-maze-ing. And all the cool kids are coming, but Mulvaney isnāt invited.
Praise Trump.
Get hired.
Lie.
Abet in wrongdoing.
Disappoint the boss.
Get left out of the loop.
Get fired or otherwise leave.
Do any of these people ever learn?
[rhetorical question]
The posed picture of Trump at the head of a large table supposedly watching the raid with military leaders on both sides didnāt have room for Mulvaney. And heās just Acting COS, which means even more disposable than usual in the Trump administration game of whack-a-staffer.
It was a snub of epic proportions
Iām getting all verklempt over here. Talk amongst yourselves.
Hopefully, we can add these in, as wellā¦
Iāve never been clear on what Trump does on his day to day role as POTUS.
His official job, the one heās paid for, is running OMB. Of course, your question still applies to that position.
Dang! Treated him like he was a Democrat!
It really is all so junior high, isnāt it?
Unbelievable.
It was late afternoon/early evening so they didnāt need anybody to get coffee.
Absolutely. You added the consequential parts.
Watch Fox News and Hate Tweet?
Interspersed with schemes to funnel taxpayer money into his pocket.
Heās going to start calling Mulvaney a Deep State Democrat.
Oh! Surely this must have simply been an inadvertent oversight. Just an innocent āoopsā.
Wow, Mulvaney is in the same category as Pelosi and Schumer in Trumpās demented mind.
